The casket is beautiful and a remarkable treasure. Sadly Mary made two mistakes which led to her downfall - firstly, as was pointed out, she married Lord Bothwell too quickly after Darley's murder. Secondly, after she was deposed, she had the chance to flee to France. She instead fled to England, hoping Elizabeth would help her. She should have been aware that as Mary was a Catholic Elizabeth would not have helped her. Had she fled to France, she may have lost her throne but would have retained her freedom and her life.
Love the history of this beautiful section of our country, East Lothian has amazing places to visit and I’m always up around hailes castle and carberry hill
Wonderful 🤗 I have a little wooden painted box that might have belong to her. It has the decoration of fine landscape paintings and motives and colour on the corners as the ceiling of huntingtower castle. 🤔
Question have you found a bigger one but a book 📖 size one just like this one . I'm not sure again but I think there was one that hold my Bible. You should have found that it's red finally fabric with gold trimming
The casket is beautiful , Mary wasn't a great and majestic Queen, she was easily misguided, and if her head had ruled her heart she may have kept it and her throne
Superb presentation. Simple, factual and non debatable.
Thank you ❣️ for founding this piece means so much.

Love your necklace

Why was her prayer book that she had before her death was auctioned at Christie's that no one had the right to do?
I can't explain it but there was more items in there not just the necklace was more personal

Why do you say that?Liz should of kept out of it being no royalty since 1500s,lady means nothing.

Marys belongings should go back to Scotland to her relatives,will happen when we get independence.
Surprised you are wearing gloves as wearing silver jewelery helps keep it from tarnishing.
